AUSTIN, TEX. 



The Hyde Park Floral Co., of this 

 city, has been organizsd. The members 

 of the new firm are all well known Aus- 

 tin men, F. T. Ramsey, the president of 

 the company, being the proprietor of the 

 Austin Nursery, the largest nursery in 

 th3 state. A. J. Seiders, the manager, is 

 a gardener of many years' experience, 

 having laid out and had charge of many 

 of the large public grounds and parks of 

 the state and for the past three years 

 was landscape gardener and instructor in 

 floriculture and gard?ning at the College 

 of Industrial Arts for Young Women,^ 

 at Denton, Tex. Edgar Hall has been 

 engaged in the florists' business in Aus- 

 tin for a number of years and H. Q. 

 West, who is also interested, is one of 

 Uncle Sam's efficient postal employees. 

 The firm is building three greenhouses 

 14x100, with a lean-to propagating hous^e 

 and a boiler and potting shed.. Hot- 

 water heating will be used. 



In addition to the propagation of roses 

 and other stock for planting out in th» 

 Austin Nursery, a general line of bed- 

 ding plants will be grown and consider- 

 able space will be devoted to growing 

 cut flowers for the local market. A. S. 



NURSERY NEWS. 



AMERICAN ASSOOATION OF NURSERYMEN. 



Free., E. Albertson, Bridgeport. Ind.; Vlce- 

 Pres., Orlando Harrison, Berlin, Md. ; Sec'y, Geo. 

 C. Seajrer, Rochester; Treas., C. L. Yates, Roches- 

 ter. The 31st annual convention will be held at 

 Dallas, Texas, June, 1906. 



T. H. Peyton, of Mexico, Mo., is 

 about to start a nursery at Boonville^ 

 Miss. 



C. C. E. MoRDEN, Niagara Falls, Ont., 

 is secretary of the recently organized 

 association of Canadian nurserymen. 



C. L. Watrous, the wheel-horse of the 

 Nursery Association 's committee on leg- 

 islation, has come to the conclusion that 

 we shall never achieve a practical federal 

 inspection and quarantine law. 



The question of commissions to gar- 

 deners should be settled, at least in New 

 York, by the law which went into ef- 

 fect September 1, making the acceptance 

 of commissions a misdemeanor. 



If the American Association of Nurs- 

 erymen could agree on a standard grade 

 for all classes of stock, and it should not 

 be so very difficult a scale to devise, 

 the whole trade would be compelled ta 

 adopt it and everybody would know 

 where he is " at. ' ' 



A FEW GOOD LILACS. 



The lilac is perhaps, more than any 

 other flower, connected with our child- 

 hood days, and is on this account appre- 

 ciated and loved in later years as our 

 earliest floral acquaintance. Many flo- 

 rists as yet do not realize the change that 

 lias taken place for the better in the new 

 varieties introduced of recent years, im- 

 provements which are as great as has 

 been made with any other flower. It will 

 pay the florists to become better ac- 

 quainted with them. 



The old purple and white varieties 

 (Syringa vulgaris and S. vulgaris alba) 

 usually grow, or sucker up into large 

 lui5!hes, taking up much room, without 

 blooming in proportion to their size. 

 The newer kinds are usually budded, or
